American Scientific Affiliation Astronomy/Cosmology Page The Legend of the Shrinking Sun- A Case Study Comparing Professional Science and "Creation Science" in Action HOWARD J. VAN TILL Professor of Physics and Astronorny Calvin College Grand Rapids, Michigan From: Perspectives on Science and Christian Faith In recent years, advocates of the young earth hypothesis have assembled numerous lists of "scientific evidences" for their recent creation scenario. In this paper we critically evaluate the scientific adequacy of one such evidential claim of "creation-science," viz., that the sun's diameter has been shrinking in such a manner as to preclude the credibility of the standard multibillion-year chronology for terrestrial history. Within the professional scientific community, a preliminary report which suggested a long-term and rapid shrinkage of the sun presented a puzzle for solar astronomers. Consequently, additional studies were made and the credibility of the original data was re-evaluated. The result is that secular shrinkage has not been substantiated, but an 80-year oscillatory behavior was discovered. Within the "creation-science" community, however, the response to the original report has been remarkably different. The suggestion of rapid long-term shrinkage was uncritically accepted, the evidence and conclusions drawn from subsequent studies were generally dismissed, and extrapolations of the presumed rapid solar shrinkage have been performed without restraint. Isolated from the corrective of continuing professional investigation and evaluation, the "creation-science" community continues to employ this unwarranted extrapolation of a discredited report as a scientific evidence" for a young earth. The credibility of the Christian witness to a scientifically knowledgeable world is thereby clouded.

DM #3 Projects: Research Paper Observing Internet Presentation COURSE OBJECTIVES: Astronomy receives considerable attention from the media and the public in general. It allows us to ask fundamental questions about who we are, where we come from, and where we will end up as a world. This course will concentrate on the areas of Astronomy that are currently most covered by the media-planet detection and interpretation, supermassive black holes, gamma-ray bursters, dark matter in the Universe, and other significant developments that arise during the semester. We will cover each of these in depth, but will also concentrate on the reaction that the media has had on them. The media and public often have an uncanny ability to probe directly to the main reasons for why scientists study a particular problem. The student who completes this course will not only have a better scientific understanding of the current hot topics in Astronomy, but also understand how the media can actually drive science in general. TEXT: No textbook is required. Much of the relevant material will be articles that are available on the internet, so access to the internet is important. Lectures, along with many articles from the internet, will be provided online. I strongly recommend the book ``Cosmic Perspective'' by Bennett, Donahue, Schneider, and Voit for additional material. I will add websites to the lists below during the semester.

On June 8, from roughly 5:00 to 11:30 a.m. (Greenwich time), Venus will undergo a rare transit of the Sun. That means that it will pass directly across the Sun's disk as seen from the Earth. The last time this happened was in 1882, so if it's visible, you should take the chance to see it. If you miss it, you'll have to wait another 8 years. If you miss that one, well, you've missed it for sure: the next transit isn't until 2117. I will be doing a series of live television interviews about the transit on the 8th. I have created a webpage with information about the transit and the times I will be on the air. Check for your local listings. May 6, 2004:

92. Astronomy For Everyone Articles Here I have assembled a series of articles on current andpopular topics in astronomy. Although they are written primarily http://sciastro.net/portia/

This is me (Susan Carroll, a.k.a. Portia on #sciastro) with the REAL Portia, who may look like a dog, but is actually a little person in a Pug suit. My love of the night sky began nearly 40 years ago, when I was a little girl. My father would take me outside at night and point out the constellations, like Orion, Casseiopeia, and of course, the asterism known as the Big Dipper. He showed me the phases of the moon, and explained why the sun moved further north during the summer months. Among the many ideas he instilled in me was the fact that the sky is up there for everyone to enjoy; one doesn't need expensive equipment, or a lot of formal education in science and astronomy, to appreciate the splendors of the night sky. All that is required is interest. I have taken this to heart and some of the most rewarding times in my life have been those opportunities I've had to share my love of astronomy with others, particularly those who are new to it. Here, then, is a collection of photographs, articles, anecdotes, and advice that I have accumulated during my years as an amateur astronomer. I hope you enjoy them; that you find them useful, informative, and perhaps amusing. There will be additions from time to time, so check back often. And if I am able, through these pages, to inspire just a small handful of you to become interested in astronomy, then I have accomplished my mission. AstroPhotography - This has been a passion of mine for many years, but frankly, I'm a rank amateur! However, over the years I have managed to get lucky every now and then!

Special Topics in Folklore and Mythology Astronomical Bears Birds Cats ... Urban Folklore and Legends This page offers links to information about folklore and mythology topics of particular interest to me that cut across many cultural and geographical regions. In particular, I believe that the influence of astronomical events and castastrophes in the origins of myths and legends, is not always fully appreciated. Some of the astronomical ideas presented in these links are generally accepted. Others are very unorthodox. Probably the most popular mythology link here is Mark Isaak's Flood Stories From Around The World . He offers an excellent collection of flood stories along with a bibliography. Astronomical AEON is a journal devoted to mythological interpretation in the Velikovsky tradition of recent planetary catastrophes.

Indoor labs begin promptly at 6:10 pm or 8:10 pm. If it looks clear or only partly cloudy, we are likely to go outside, so arrive early (i.e. on the hour) for outdoor labs. If you arrive on your scheduled lab night and time and we are not there, we've left for the observatory. A map showing its location, west of the field house, is on the physics 406 bulletin board. If you arrive late, be sure to check in as we will be taking attendance. Required Work: Combined with the planetarium visit, lab work contributes to 15% of your overall grade, which works out to 3.33% of your total grade per lab. There will be three indoor labs and at least one (weather permitting)
